I've been doing nothing but Capoeira for a bit more than a month now, and I definitely notice it on my arms :/ Before I did push ups almost every day and have seen results pretty fast, but then I stopped and now my arms are getting smaller again But I end school this Friday, so I'm planning on some intense workout weeks after that I'm pretty happy with my results so far, but feel like that final touch is still needed

As for arms.. When I started doing sports I always thought "I don't want to look like those female bodybuilders with muscles all over..".. And now.. Well, I'm still not aiming to look like a bodybuilder but I've definitely come to find muscular females very pretty.. So my goals have changed a bit from just fat-loss to fat-loss and muscle-gain

I know very little about it save what few moves are done in my Brazil Butt Lift workout. I am STILL on girly push-ups even though I'm using 8 and 10 lb weights for my workouts. Do not get!

My upper arms, glutes, and thighs have always been my trouble spots. I gain weight mostly on upper and lower body, not much in the midsection unless I really begin to pile it on. I actually am in the process of trying to make them smaller AND add definition.

I've seen ones who look gorgeous and I've seen the ones who just...not my style! I want curves in addition to the definition.

The full body pics are being saved as I'm sending them in to claim my Insanity t-shirt. I delibrately chose a pair of exercise pants that didn't fit me as well and wore the same ones a month later. Major difference!

Also...loving the developing ab definition.

And since I finally had someone taking some photos of me... I have one of me lifting weights and another shot of me from behind, and you get to see my ink!

You wouldn't believe how many shots she took of me holding that dumbbell, in the yoga poses.... It turned INTO an exercise. I eventually wound up saying to her as *much* time went by, "You're so lucky I'm in shape enough to hold this pose!"

Awesome Especially on the shots in your exercise pants the difference is soo visible! Congrats

Thanks!

BTW: Do you use henna hair-dye?

Nope! I used to highlight my hair with it ages ago but no longer do. These days I pretty much have next to no pigment left in my hair, so Naturatint (think I got that product name right...) comes in handy for the roots.

I just wondered, because I use Henna at the moment, and it washes out so easily.. I almost bought one of the conventional hair-dyes today out of frustration, but each one of them was made by Procter&Gamble (animal-testing) and had warnings like "Keep out of reach of children" on them, so I decided to go for Henna once again I bought another brand of Henna though, so maybe this one will stay in my hair a bit longer.

Some bravery. No makeup, no sucking it in...these are my P90X starting point pics.

In comparison with my previous pics, I gotta like. My waist and hips are obviously smaller and you see my obliques more. The abs aren't as visible in these shots and I'm glad I switched over from the beaucoup cardio to P90X. I need something that'll both challenge me and continue to burn away the remaining fat while gaining the muscle def I want.

Okay! I have some progress pics. The changes are subtle, it's only been a little over a month of P90X plus I was sick for two weeks. But I can see a diff:

Before:

After:

Before:

After:

My arms are definitely more toned. Those are honestly the hardest for me to tone along with my glutes, so the fact that there's progress makes me want to do the happy dance. I'm also seeing the ab definition again, something I was starting to lose after I lost the 24 or so pounds.
